	Apparently, grammar is regaining its rightful place in secondary school lessons.

	This is not a snipe at anybody on here. This is a chat site and nobody uses perfect grammar when they chat, even if they did have to suffer a grammar school education! Reading an article in the Daily Mirror this morning (not aiming high but they were still paid to write it) I was informed that the journalist had two daughters. She then wnt on to mention the oldest and the youngest. Surely good English is a tool of her trade so why does she not know that she has no oldest or youngest daughter and why was the article not properly proof read by somebody who does know adequate grammar?
